Xcode Version 16.3 (16E140) App developed in Flutter Flutter 3.29.3 Test iPhone device: iPhone 16 Pro running iOS 18.5 I have an app that requires Camera access. This used to work before with iOS 18.4.x. I have dumbed down my app to just get Camera permission. Even then it fails flutter: Camera permission: PermissionStatus.denied flutter: Photos permission: PermissionStatus.denied flutter: Microphone permission: PermissionStatus.denied flutter: --- End Debug Info --- flutter: Loaded translations from asset for en_US container_create_or_lookup_app_group_path_by_app_group_identifier: client is not entitled container_create_or_lookup_app_group_path_by_app_group_identifier: client is not entitled container_create_or_lookup_app_group_path_by_app_group_identifier: client is not entitled container_create_or_lookup_app_group_path_by_app_group_identifier: client is not entitled container_create_or_lookup_app_group_path_by_app_group_identifier: client is not entitled container_create_or_lookup_app_group_path_by_app_group_identifier: client is not entitled flutter: CAMERA PERMISSION STATUS: PermissionStatus.permanentlyDenied Camera permissions don't show up in my App settings or under "Settings -> Privacy and Security -> Camera" and I am at loss to understand why this is happening.

I'm developing iPad app that will be mostly dedicated for certain external camera for visually impaired people. The linux UVC api (e.g. using guvcview) allows to enable automatic exposure for the camera. IOs api "isExposureModeSupported" unfortunately returns false for any of the exposure modes. Is it a bug? Or perhaps AVFoundation doesn't support UVC exposure yet?

for a while i had one photo widget (no special app, just the standard apple one) and it was set to shuffle to an album of pics of my bf. no problems at all. a few weeks later i added one to shuffle through an album of pics of my cat, and that one worked fine, but it made the one of my bf stop working, and it just showed a blank white widget, no error message or anything. so i removed the one of my cat hoping the one of my bf would go back to working, and it didn’t. i only have the widgets for find my, my bank, and then apps on my home screen otherwise.

Hello developer community. I purchase recently my new iPhone 16 Pro Max; it is a premium device with great quality overall. However, I am having a big trouble shotting in ProRaw MAX (48 mode) with native camera. Just to be clear, the problem that i will describe do not happen in 3rd apps, such as ProCam; only with native camera. When I use ProRaw Max, and take the photo, and watch the photo in the gallery the image can’t load and render properly. Even, when I maximize the image to the maximum I can see pixelated portions, defects and super low resolution and excessive denoise. For comparison, this not occur with my previous iPhone 15 PM and/or when I capture photos from ProCam (same settings and configurations) in the 16PM. I proceed to take the photo, open the gallery and I see full of details, when zoomed to 100%. I tried to format the phone, reinstall the software via my mac. Tried even to look at some forums to find if there’s someone with the same issue, the information available so far is very low. I’m in contact with apple assistant from my country (Portugal), and they escalated this problem to the engineers. (that’s what I’ve been told). They did all the tests remotely (via analysis and improvement’s) and they told me that my phone is perfect in the hardware department. I will wait for the next days to be contacted again. I’m on iOS 18.0.1. (The last software available at this time). I tried multiple 16PM, from friends, family and stores (more or less 10 units), and they all showed the exact same problematic. I’m a professional photographer, so I find this frustrating and unacceptable. I would appreciate any additional suggestion or information. Thank you! Cannot add photos or files because they are bigger than 5Mb.

i have a wallpaper app , i need a photos access when i try to add it in capabilities i don't find it.is there any solution?

Hey, I have a complex CIFilter chain I'm trying to debug to improve processing time. Is there any documentation on what all the colours mean and the naming, e.g. sRGB Linear_to_workspace? Thanks Alex

Hello, I have a problem reading a 2D data matrix type code with a camera. In the application, I use AVFoundation to operate the camera and work with 2D codes, and in the vast majority there is no problem with loading. Nothing special. I originally thought it might be a problem in my code, but I got the same result when I tried with the Camera app integrated in IOS. It can be seen that only the LiveText API for text recognition worked. But I am attaching the code with which the camera has a problem, even though the code looks perfectly fine at first glance. A classic handheld 2D code reader will read the code just fine. Can someone please explain to me why the camera, which normally reads these codes at the speed of light, sometimes has a problem with the codes? Thank you [Personal Information Edited by Moderator]

Some users have reported an error editing portrait photo assets in my app: The operation couldn’t be completed. (CINonLocalizedDescriptionKey error 3.) What is that error? Will affected photos always encounter this error (due to data corruption for example) or can it be resolved in a future iOS update? FB16241301

I have a feature requirement: to switch the writer for file writing every 5 minutes, and then quickly merge the last two files. How can I ensure that the merged file is seamlessly combined and that the audio and video information remains synchronized? Currently, the merged video has glitches, and the audio is also out of sync. If there are experts who can provide solutions in this area, I would be extremely grateful.

I created a locked camera capture extension as explained in Apple's documentation. I'm trying to explore the possibilities of using a bluetooth peripheral from that extension - anybody knows if this is possible? The CBCentralManagerDelegate reports .unsupported in func centralManagerDidUpdateState, even if I have provided all the permissions in Info.plist.

The documentation for PHAssetChangeRequest.revertAssetContentToOriginal says it will fail if the original asset content is not on the current device so you should use PHAssetResourceManager to download it first, but this no longer seems to be the case in the latest iOS versions because an error no longer occurs when I take a photo on my iPhone, edit it, open Photos on my iPad and let it sync, then open my app on iPad and call revertAssetContentToOriginal for that asset. Does the system now take care of downloading the original when needed?

Hello everyone, I need some help about this things. If you also know, pls comment. Overview We are planning to develop an app using the “Support external cameras in your iPadOS app” feature introduced in iPadOS 17. Before implementing this feature, it is necessary for the iPad to recognize external cameras. However, among the iPad models compatible with iPadOS 17, we have found that some of the iPads owned by our development team can recognize external cameras, while others cannot. If you have any reports regarding compatibility issues or information on how to resolve these problems, please share them with us. Detailed Explanation: The results of our investigation are as follows: External Camera Used: A 360-degree camera Devices Firmware RICOH Theta X 2.61.0（2024/12/26Latest） RICOH Theta Z1 Tested iPad Devices Firmware Status 12.9インチiPad Pro（第3世代） IOS 17.5.1 OK 11インチiPad Pro（M4） IOS 18.2 NG Verification Method Step 1: Power on the iPad and the external camera, ensuring both are ready for connection. Step 2: Connect the iPad and the external camera using a USB-C cable. Step 3: Launch FaceTime on the iPad and check the displayed camera feed. If the external camera is recognized, the feed from the external camera will be displayed.

I am experiencing a bug when using a AVCapturePhotoBracketSettings object to capture a bracketed photo sequence on iPhone 16 Pro. Specifically, when I pass in an array of exposure values: [-x, 0, +x], where x >= 3. Specifically, the high exposure photo capture returns a black image. STEPS TO REPRODUCE Run the sample app I have provided on an iPhone 16 Pro Notice that bracketed images captured where the eV is set to [-3,0,+3], [-4,0,+4], or [-5,0,+5] return a black image for the high exposure photo. Notice that on other iOS devices (like iPhone 13 Pro), the high exposure photo is returned as high brightness as expected. I have also added two folders in the sample project that show screenshots of the bug: iPhone13Pro & iPhone16Pro Sample Project: https://www.icloud.com/iclouddrive/090O_68Z0Nh2UOxmPRwu56Tmw#Focused16ProBracketedCaptureBug

Our app filters the photo library to a certain date range for ease of picking photos. However, to do this, we have to require full permissions to the photo library. We would like to use the PHPickerViewController and have it filter the results by the assets creation date? This would allow us to use it. I see other filter options, but not this one. And if it isn't there, is this something that is being thought about or on a roadmap?

Hi, I'm developing an application for macos and ios that has to run DetectHumanBodyPose3DRequest model in real time for retrieving the 3d skeleton from the camera. I'm experiencing a memory leak every time the model is used (when i comment that line, the memory stays constant). After a minute it uses about 1GB of ram running with mac catalyst. I attached a minimal project that has this problem Code Camera View import SwiftUI import Combine import Vision struct CameraView: View { @StateObject private var viewModel = CameraViewModel() var body: some View { HStack { ZStack { GeometryReader { geometry in if let image = viewModel.currentFrame { Image(decorative: image, scale: 1) .resizable() .scaledToFill() .frame(width: geometry.size.width, height: geometry.size.height) .clipped() } else { ProgressView() } } } } } } class CameraViewModel: ObservableObject { @Published var currentFrame: CGImage? @Published var frameRate: Double = 0 @Published var currentVisionBodyPose: HumanBodyPose3DObservation? // Store current body pose @Published var currentImageSize: CGSize? // Store current image size private var cameraManager: CameraManager? private var humanBodyPose = HumanBodyPose3DDetector() private var lastClassificationTime = Date() private var frameCount = 0 private var lastFrameTime = Date() private let classificationThrottleInterval: TimeInterval = 1.0 private var lastPoseSendTime: Date = .distantPast init() { cameraManager = CameraManager() startPreview() startClassification() } private func startPreview() { Task { guard let previewStream = cameraManager?.previewStream else { return } for await frame in previewStream { let size = CGSize(width: frame.width, height: frame.height) Task { @MainActor in self.currentFrame = frame self.currentImageSize = size self.updateFrameRate() } } } } private func startClassification() { Task { guard let classificationStream = cameraManager?.classificationStream else { return } for await pixelBuffer in classificationStream { self.classifyFrame(pixelBuffer: pixelBuffer) } } } private func classifyFrame(pixelBuffer: CVPixelBuffer) { humanBodyPose.runHumanBodyPose3DRequestOnImage(pixelBuffer: pixelBuffer) { [weak self] observation in guard let self = self else { return } DispatchQueue.main.async { if let observation = observation { self.currentVisionBodyPose = observation print(observation) } else { self.currentVisionBodyPose = nil } } } } private func updateFrameRate() { frameCount += 1 let now = Date() let elapsed = now.timeIntervalSince(lastFrameTime) if elapsed >= 1.0 { frameRate = Double(frameCount) / elapsed frameCount = 0 lastFrameTime = now } } } HumanBodyPose3DDetector import Foundation import Vision class HumanBodyPose3DDetector: NSObject, ObservableObject { @Published var humanObservation: HumanBodyPose3DObservation? = nil private let queue = DispatchQueue(label: "humanbodypose.queue") private let request = DetectHumanBodyPose3DRequest() private struct SendablePixelBuffer: @unchecked Sendable { let buffer: CVPixelBuffer } public func runHumanBodyPose3DRequestOnImage(pixelBuffer: CVPixelBuffer, completion: @escaping (HumanBodyPose3DObservation?) -> Void) { let sendableBuffer = SendablePixelBuffer(buffer: pixelBuffer) queue.async { [weak self] in Task { [weak self, sendableBuffer] in do { guard let self = self else { return } let result = try await self.request.perform(on: sendableBuffer.buffer) //process result DispatchQueue.main.async { if result.isEmpty { completion(nil) } else { completion(result[0]) } } } catch { DispatchQueue.main.async { completion(nil) } } } } } }

Issue: In iOS 26 (tested on Developer Beta), AVCaptureMetadataOutputObjectsDelegate no longer receives callbacks when using .face detection. metadataOutput.metadataObjectTypes = [.face]

I'm creating an app that uses AVCaptureSession to pass camera input to AVCaptureMetadataOutput type set [metaout setMetadataObjectTypes:@[AVMetadataObjectTypeFace]] and scan Face. After updating to OS 26 Beta2 and iOS 26 Beta2, an issue has occurred where the delegate method of AVCaptureMetadataOutputObjectsDelegate is not called on some devices. The following devices are experiencing this issue. iPad (9th Gen) iPad air (4th Gen) iPhone 15 This issue has not occur on any other devices I have. I tried running the AVFoundation sample code on the Apple Developer site on the above device. The same problem still occurs. [https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfoundation/capture_setup/avcambarcode_detecting_barcodes_and_faces] Are any additional settings required after OS 26 beta and iOS 26 beta? Or is there some problem on the OS side?

PLATFORM AND VERSION :iOS 18.5 I wanted to bring to your attention a critical issue some of our production users are experiencing with the CoinOut app. Specifically, users are encountering a problem when attempting to capture photos of receipts using the app's customized camera feature. The camera, which utilizes AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer and AVCaptureDevice, occasionally fails to load the preview, resulting in a black screen instead of the expected camera view. This camera blackout issue is significantly impacting the user experience as it prevents them from snapping photos of their receipts, which is a core functionality of the CoinOut app. Any help/suggestion to this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone, I have a SwiftUI app using WKWebView to load a website that includes a form with a file input (). The issue is: 📌 When a user taps “Browse” and selects “Take Photo” (camera option), the app crashes before the camera opens. Setup Details: • App Uses SwiftUI with WKWebView • The crash occurs only when selecting “Take Photo”, but selecting an image from the library works fine. 📌 Full Code (WKWebView in SwiftUI) import SwiftUI import WebKit struct WebViewRepresentable: UIViewRepresentable { var urlString: String func makeUIView(context: Context) -> WKWebView { let webView = WKWebView() webView.configuration.allowsInlineMediaPlayback = true webView.configuration.mediaTypesRequiringUserActionForPlayback = [] loadURL(in: webView) return webView } func updateUIView(_ uiView: WKWebView, context: Context) { loadURL(in: uiView) } private func loadURL(in webView: WKWebView) { if let url = URL(string: urlString) { webView.load(URLRequest(url: url)) } } } struct ContentView: View { @State private var currentURL: String = "https://fv-wohlensee.ch" var body: some View { VStack(spacing: 0) { // Oberer Bereich in Grün Color(red: 0, green: 0.4, blue: 0) .frame(height: 50) // WebView with white background WebViewRepresentable(urlString: currentURL) .background(Color.white) Divider() // Navigation buttons HStack(spacing: 10) { Button { currentURL = "https://fv-wohlensee.ch/vereinshaus-eymatt/" } label: { VStack { Image(systemName: "house") .font(.system(size: 18)) Text("Klubhaus") .font(.system(size: 12)) .minimumScaleFactor(0.7) .lineLimit(1) } .padding(8) } .foregroundColor(.white) .frame(maxWidth: .infinity) Button { currentURL = "https://fv-wohlensee.ch/vereinsboot/" } label: { VStack { Image(systemName: "ferry.fill") .font(.system(size: 18)) Text("Boot") .font(.system(size: 12)) .minimumScaleFactor(0.7) .lineLimit(1) } .padding(8) } .foregroundColor(.white) .frame(maxWidth: .infinity) Button { currentURL = "https://fv-wohlensee.ch/aktivitaeten/" } label: { VStack { Image(systemName: "calendar") .font(.system(size: 18)) Text("Aktivitäten") .font(.system(size: 12)) .minimumScaleFactor(0.7) .lineLimit(1) } .padding(8) } .foregroundColor(.white) .frame(maxWidth: .infinity) Button { currentURL = "https://fv-wohlensee.ch/mitglied-werden/" } label: { VStack { Image(systemName: "person.badge.plus") .font(.system(size: 18)) Text("Mitglied") .font(.system(size: 12)) .minimumScaleFactor(0.7) .lineLimit(1) } .padding(8) } .foregroundColor(.white) .frame(maxWidth: .infinity) } .padding(.horizontal, 15) .padding(.vertical, 10) .background(Color(red: 0, green: 0.4, blue: 0)) } .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, maxHeight: .infinity) .background(Color(red: 0, green: 0.4, blue: 0)) .ignoresSafeArea() } } struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider { static var previews: some View { ContentView() } } What I’ve Tried: 1️⃣ Checked Info.plist: Added permissions for camera and photo library: <key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key> <string>This app requires access to the camera to upload photos.</string> <key>NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription</key> <string>This app requires access to your photo library.</string> 2️⃣ Enabled Media Capture in WKWebView: webView.configuration.allowsInlineMediaPlayback = true webView.configuration.mediaTypesRequiringUserActionForPlayback = [] 3️⃣ Tested in Safari: The same form works fine when opened in Safari.

I'm using PhotoKit in macOS to add photos to the user's library. Experimenting with Shared Photo Library, it seems that these new photos always end up in the Personal Library, not the Shared Library. I'd like to get them into the Shared Photo Library somehow. Is this possible? Things I've considered: A variation/option for PHAssetChangeRequest.creationRequestForAsset: doesn't seem to exist A property of PHAsset: can't find anything A special PHAssetCollection that I could add to: again, doesn't seem to exist
